WOW!!!! There really isn't any way to explain this song .. Laura Nyro pretty much spells it out there for you in black and white. If you still don't get it, not sure what I can say to help.
this is an AMAZING song about not only hard drugs, but also about the human condition and why someone would want to inject enough drug to kill. some people have simply had enough pain in their life .. they've given up and they'll do anything to leave our reality.
This song is simply about an encounter with such a person.
I cannot imagine a more moving way to present this event to the general public. Laura Nyro's lyrics are simply STUNNING in this song.
The guy just wants to leave this earth - he doesn't care about dignity or anything else society may dictate. He just wants to check out.
But, despite his disinterest, his life simply won't be forgot .. due to the kindness and understanding of a brilliant songwritter who promises to make his story into a song.
God bless this poor soul (and others like him) .. and God bless Laura Nyro.
@tsreyb That's the thing about Laura Nyro. She either puts it right out there directly into your heart. Or the lyrics are shadowy and inscrutable. I agree. Not here.
